Changing the Jury System.

The mistrials in prominent criminal
cases lead to a thorough review of the
Jury system and suggestions of changes
to secure efficient public service.
The practice Of rejecting jurors capa-
BILE of reading and posting themselves
on the incidents of crime, keeps out of
the jury box some of the best qualified
and most judiciOus men.
To begin with more rigid law in rela-
tiOn to jury service, to prevent business
and professional men from shirking their
duty or frivolous pretexts would increase
the intelligence of the average jury.
A jury ought no, to be deprived of the
power Of returning lawful and just ver-
dict, because one or two obstinates OF
corrupt men determine to violate the
spirit and letter of the law by refusal
to concur with majority or three fourthi
of their fellows.
Trials of criminals are always costly
affairs, and all obstacles to speedy trials
should be removed for economy as wei
as Justices sake.-N. o. ChOnicle.

The NO. States is pounding away at
Mr.. Gay for his vote on the Morrison tar
iff bill. 1t is strange that such staunch
Democrat as Mr.. Gay should slide over
and vote with the Republicans, but he
does it like a little man. The prOtec-
tionists all belong in the Republican
column, and bar Congressman ought to
stay there.-St Mary Review.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use 1t with
out immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all Druggists to recon-
mend it to the poor, dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as so,
900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such a medicine as the Ger
man Syrup cannot be to widely known.
Ask your Druggists about it. Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Regu-
lar size, IS cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and Dealers, in the United States
and Canada. cow
